katherine, thank you for your answer. i didn't really ask the question =
right. i am actually talking about a fast market in a stock like PECS in =
the past. The stock has formed a nice cup and handle, the technicals and =
the fundamentals are very good. the stock gaps up at the opening, on =
very heavy volume, and the price of the stock goes up very fast. let's =
say the pivot is 32.50. Since the accumulation is so fast, that instead
of being able to buy around the pivot point, ones execution might come =
back 1-2% higher.It looks like to me in this instance, that buying =
before the pivot might be a good idea..Lets say maybe buying at 32.00 =
to 32.50. What do you think? david

Hi David,
I see there hasn't yet been a response to your questions. I was sure =
this one would draw some discussion.
As I don't know your own level of experience with CANSLIM and =
investing, I thought I'd answer this from a more generic point of view.
(1) The idea behind waiting for a good stock to form a solid base and =
then break out on volume is to identify that magical point at which =
Demand outstrips Supply and Price is pushed higher--essentially the old =
Supply/Demand curve from economics class. Assuming the lion's share of =
sellers have been exhausted and the stock is one that people would wish =
to own, the theory is that any additional demand for the stock will push =
the price further. In order for the Price to continue on, the underlying =
fundamentals that create value in the company have got to be sound. So =
from this point of view, waiting for the B/O is stacking the odds in =
your favor.
(2) The statistics on B/O's from various technical formations can be =
measured, but as you notice in our discussion the other day, the studies =
we were looking at in Bulkowski's book make no preselection based on =
fundamentals, as CANSLIM forces us to do. Even still, there are still =
odds that B/O's will fail. It's just the way it is.
(3) If you are extremely practiced and confident in CANSLIM candidate =
selection and can build a sound argument for the company and its =
potential, it is possible to make an early entry. Afterall, *some*body =
is buying it on the right side of the cup. Even still, it is less risky =
if the entry comes on a major change in trend or at a point that is very =
near substantial recent support. I'm not advocating this, I think even =
the best of the best get whacked when they try to do this. But more =
importantly, I don't believe that anyone who hasn't established a long =
running track record of successful selection should do this at all. Just =
way too risky.
Katherine

one thing that might increase ones odds-is buying before the pivot =
point is reach, if the stock has hugh volume, great technicals and =
fundamentals. what do you all think??? david
and also
do any of you buy before the pivot point , if the volume is hugh,
and the technicals and the fundamentals are excellent, and the stock =
is
setting up to break out of a nice base pattern???
